returning to Ramage

The night before a paper is due it's probably not the best idea writing to the professor and class that you're confused when the paper is due or what to write about. By the sound of the last few posts, I'm not the only one, who's unsure. But back to Rhetoric...

Continuing the reading, I found the second chapter to be double as interesting as the first. Further into the book, Ramage's writing becomes much more relevant to the individuals self identity. Comparing who we are and how we understand our dimensions of identity. Relating to his readers on a personal level, or for me at least. Ramage continues to impress me through his use of complex metaphors while continuing his casual rant for example his motorcycle readymade argument. His look into the similarities between rhetoric and advertising makes also make me wonder if he has any type of marketing background. All in all, the book seems to really address some interesting ideas by giving insight into the authors own experience.
